Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3142387A2] For many hearing assistive devices, the user's speech is received at a larger amplitude signal than the speech of someone speaking to the user. Since the user's speech is also picked up by the microphone and feed through the speaker causing an acoustic feedback effect, the user may have to constantly adjust the volume of the hearing assistive device to achieve a more comfortable volume based on where the speech is coming from. Therefore, mitigating the acoustic feedback effect of assistive hearing devices can generate a more efficient and comfortable hearing device.
